1.63 60ft in a Jeep?
11.8 seems too fast for just 105mph.
Possibly. I’ve only ever consciously tried to run 0-60 and 0-100 times (set to display real time progress on the dash). The distance times it just records anyway. I probably lifted off as soon as it flashed up 100 (on a private road) and coasted but the system may have recorded a 1/4 mile time. Or...it really does get off the line like a scalded cat with loads of traction with 4wd and the weight on the wheels. But as the speed picks up it has the aerodynamics of a brick so that takes the edge off it too. In truth not something I’d noticed as I’m not familiar with drag times/terminal speeds. But having pointed out the anomaly I’ll have to try for a proper 1/4 mile run next time I’m on a dry private road. 11.8 seems too fast for just 105mph.
